Jimmy, I think you're the whole alphabet ok, OK?

It's both!

That's right, save the best for last!

Good Morning Tx

hehe, we were talking about bidding for you, and I was willing to give more then Fran was, so you just need to know that I'd give more for you! She's kinda stingy.

Jimmy? Did you see where Fran only wanted to give 100 points for you and I would give 1000? Good Morning you hunka hunka hunka hunka hunka cowboy you!

Yep, Merle, aka bad girl, aka Mrs Sharpshooter...she's getting so many alias's now, makes you wonder what she's been up to!

Good Morning All

It is still morning isn't it? yep, even here on the East Coast. (wiping the dust off my corner of the L&F room)

btw Sea, I should have said WELCOME! I didn't look at your sign on date.

ok, what's going on? I've had two repairmen in here with me this a.m. Both have left now, exhausted.

dang, I missed everyone but Ruth & Sam.

Good Morning ((fran, merle, bonny, JIMMYYYYYYY, Imsingle))

I don't know about other states, but NC's food closests are bare, the "soup lines" longer then ever. The radio & tv stations have been promoting special events to help fill the needs of so many people this season.

I've been on this chinese food kick for about 3 wks now. If there was more than one chinese restaurant in town here or if I'd order something besides the same thing each time....I'll do this every once in awhile with a certain food, then all of a sudden I won't want it again for months! I've been in that restaurant so much this month that he just looks at me and says "The usual?".

Seriously guys, do y'all ever crave a certain food and eat it for like days? Someone told me it was your body telling you it was needing something that the food you were craving had.

Good Morning Ruth. I think we need to tie Sam, put some duct tape over his mouth.

Did you see the lists of things HE eats? RATS????? All of a sudden Bonny's menu doesn't seem so bad.

Speaking of the Bonny Lady, haven't "seen" much of her lately! Where'd you hide her Sam?

Good Morning People!!!

Sam...c'mere I'm gonna smack you first thing this a.m.!

Sunday Morning Coming Down--Kris Kristofferson

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
So I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

I smoked my mind the night before
With cigarettes and songs that I'd been picking.
But I lit my first and watched a kid
Playing with a can that he was kicking.
Then I walked across the street
And caught the smell of someone frying chicken.
And Lord it took me back to something that I'd lost
Somewhere, somehow along the way.

On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
Wishing Lord that I was stoned.
Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone.
And there's nothing short 'a dying
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down.

In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughing little girl that he was swinging.
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the songs that they were singing.
Then I headed down the street
And somewhere for away a lonely bell was ringing,
And it echoed through the canyon
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

On a Sunday morning sidewalk,
Wishing Lord that I was stoned.
Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone.
And there's nothing short 'a dying
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down.

a huge reindeer pooper scooper!

Just came across this topic also, I believe that with age comes wisdom..at least for most. When we were younger, we'd throw caution to the wind, more often then not, would NEVER pay attention to that still small voice that was always telling us the best way, and we felt we had FOREVER in front of us, if we made mistakes, so what, starting all over again wasn't that big of a deal.

At 50, we KNOW that starting over isn't easy, we KNOW that there is no FOREVER, and no GUARANTEES in life. So hopefully, we stop and consider our options, choosing more wisely. Maybe it takes longer after we're 50 to find someone that we're actually WILLING to compromise.

I honestly believe that if you dream it, hope for it, and still pursue it, whatever you dream for can be attained, just not always own OUR time table.

Wishing you all the best. 50 is only 1/2 way.

Congrats!!! I think!!
